Answer:

B. Imaginary horizontal lines that circle the Earth.

Explanation:

"Latitudes" are also known as "parallels." They are imaginary horizontal lines that look like hula hoops circling the Earth. They are considered a<em> type of grid mapping system</em> other than the "longitude."

The latitude is used to determine the location of an area from <em>the north or from the south of the Earth's equator </em>while the longitude is used to measure the location of an area from the<em> Prime meridian's east or west side</em>.

How does air pressure change as altitude increases in the atmosphere?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
<span>The higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure. Lower pressure in turn causes water to evaporate more quickly, and water actually boils at a lower temperature. The percentage of oxygen in the air at two miles (3.2 km.) is the same as at sea level (21%). However, the air pressure is 30% lower at the higher altitude due to the fact that the atmosphere is less dense--that is, the air molecules are farther apart. The important effect of this decrease in pressure is this: in a given volume of air, there are fewer molecules present. This is really just another way of saying that the pressure is lower. This is called Boyle's law.</span>

​The following question refers to the temperature and dew point data in the following cities.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a. City A

Explanation:

City A has the highest saturation vapor pressure among other cities because it has highest temperature and dew point as compared to another cities. Temperature is related to saturation vapor pressure, if increase in the temperature occurs, the average energy of the particles is also increases. It means that more particles have enough kinetic energy to escape from the surface of the liquid as a result it increase the saturated vapor pressure and the region has the highest saturation vapor pressure.
